Overlord (sometimes called the Overlord of the Sons, the Overlord of Sadow, or the Heir of Sadow) is the title given to Astronicus Aurelius Sadow by House Sadow as the founder and patriarch of the House. It also recognizes him as the symbolic figurehead of the Sons of Sadow.
Fictional Role
Fictionally the Overlord is the true leader of the House. He lurks in the shadows and his role is unknown to most, to the Dark Brotherhood at large the Quaestor is the one with the seat on the Dark Council and the authority in the lands. In secret the Overlord is the one standing over the Quaestor's shoulders, along with his most loyal followers, the Sons of Sadow. Should a Quaestor choose to act against the wishes of the Heir of Sadow he is likely to find himself face to face with the Sons, an event he is unlikely to walk away from. His role as the Viceroy of the Dlarit Corporation also gives him effective ownership of the House's assets, ensuring should a Quaestor turn against him, he can withdrawn all support, isolating them and leaving them completely exposed.
The role of the Overlord is built on the House's belief in Tron Sadow as the true heir of the Dark Lord Naga Sadow. He is their creator and their liege and they owe him their allegiance. While he is not the public figurehead, he is the dark overlord shaping things behind the scenes.
Background Information
The position of Overlord can be compared to that of the Queen of England with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Overlord is effectively the monarch, he is the sovereign ruler of House Naga Sadow, however the daily running is left to the Quaestor as the Overlord's voice on the Dark Council. The Sons of Sadow serve to help enforce the Overlord's rule, acting both as his bodyguards and enforcers. The Overlord together with the Sons of Sadow can also be fictionally likened to the Star Chamber's control over the Dark Council.
